Rat Cyclin Dependent Kinase 5 (CDK5) ELISA Kit

CDK5, a serine/threonine kinase best known for its role in central nervous system development and synaptic plasticity, can be quantified in rat tissue with this rat-specific ELISA kit from Assay Genie. The kit targets Cyclin Dependent Kinase 5, the atypical cyclin-dependent kinase activated primarily by the neuronal regulators p35 and p39 rather than canonical cyclins. Researchers studying neurodegeneration, neuronal differentiation, or kinase signalling pathways use the assay to measure CDK5 levels in rat tissue homogenates and cell lysates under in vitro experimental conditions. The 96 assays format supports medium-throughput screening of multiple samples or time points. Each kit provides the reagents needed for a colorimetric ELISA workflow, with results proportional to CDK5 concentration in the prepared sample. The kit is intended for research use only and supports laboratories investigating tau phosphorylation, neuronal apoptosis, and CDK5-p35/p39 signalling in rat model systems.
